What Is A Prepper?
An interesting and thought provoking question is it not?
I believe there are many facets to this word Prepper or any
of it's roots such as preparedness. It is truly possible for it to
mean slightly different things to different people. Does having a
food storage program make you a Prepper? Most assuredly it
does. Does stocking up on things you think may be in short
supply or go up in price at a later date make you a Prepper?
Again the answer is yes. Does buying anything in volume when
you find it on sale or at a bargain price make you a Prepper?
Again I say it does. Does trying to get some cash laid back
to cover expenses in an emergency make you a Prepper. Most
definitely it does. Anyone who buys extra of anything because
they will need it sometime in the future is a basic Prepper.
This is why I think this word has many facets, because if
you do one of the above, or if you do all of the above and maybe
even more, you are a Prepper. I have given this question of what
is a Prepper a great deal of thought the last few weeks since I was
approached with the idea. Trying to stay within the guidelines
given for this essay I'll do my best to give you what I think is
the definition of a Prepper.
I think a Prepper is a person who has decided it is in their
best interest to take or take back control of anything and some
times everything in their power, to manage the things that have
the potential to most affect them and their families in a negative
or harmful way. In the process of doing this they also ease the
effects on them and their families of things that they can not
control, such as the effects of the very weak global economy
of today. So in closing let me say, if you are taking steps to
become less reliant on other people and the decisions they make
and trying to do everything you possibly can to take personal responsibility
for yourself and your family. You Are A Prepper. Gary

But I say to you, maybe not on our own, but YES, we as a whole can control and change those negative things....One by one, person by person, get prepared for event after another, one stored can of food at a time, one more person becoming self-reliant at a time, little by little....One board and one nail at a time we CAN build this house! Freedom from all of our problems can only come by teaching others self-reliance. "Give a man a fish, feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish, feed him for a lifetime" For every person who becomes self-reliant, that's one less person to be dependent on others...Dependency comes in may forms, dependency on government= socialism, Dependency on drugs= Addiction, Dependency on Consumerism= Big Business, Dependency on Debt= Big Banks, Dependency on TV and Entertainment= Apathy. The only weapon that can defeat dependency that everyone can agree on is Self-Reliance. If everyone who could possibly become self-reliant were self-reliant, could you imagine the amount of freedom we could enjoy? Freedom from big government, Freedom from big corporations, Freedom From crime. "Freedom through teaching others self-reliance" one by one we can win this battle.....Awesome Post my friend!
